Few have studied the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on tobacco use status assessment and cessation counseling. Electronic health record data from 217 primary care clinics were examined from January 1, 2019 to July 31, 2021. Data included telehealth and in-person visits for 759,138 adult patients (aged ≥18 years). Monthly rates of tobacco assessment per 1,000 patients were calculated. From March 2020 to May 2020, tobacco assessment monthly rates declined by 50% and increased from June 2020 to May 2021 but remained 33.5% lower than pre-pandemic levels. Rates of tobacco cessation assistance changed less, but remain low. These findings are significant given the relevance of tobacco use to increased severity of COVID-19.
很少有研究关注 COVID-19 大流行对烟草使用状况评估和戒烟咨询的影响。本研究分析了 2019 年 1 月 1 日至 2021 年 7 月 31 日期间来自 217 个初级保健诊所的电子健康记录数据。数据包括 759138 名成年患者（年龄≥18 岁）的远程医疗和面对面就诊。每月每 1000 名患者的烟草评估率。2020 年 3 月至 2020 年 5 月，烟草评估每月率下降了 50%，从 2020 年 6 月到 2021 年 5 月有所增加，但仍比大流行前水平低 33.5%。烟草戒断辅助治疗的变化较小，但仍然很低。鉴于烟草使用与 COVID-19 严重程度增加的相关性，这些发现意义重大。
